.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....

Hello, and welcome to the club! Congratulations on your retirement. I am a firefighter near Cleveland, OH with 21 yrs in this month. This is my first yr. beekeeping, with two hives. GREAT hobby! Have one KTBH which will go into service next spring. Good Luck to ya!Alan

Fireguy, welcome to our forum, wonderful that you have found us. BTW, I have the deepest respect for folk like you, the ones that put their lives at risk to help others, and there are many different fields that involve people that do these type of things. Thank you for being you.

About beekeepers in your area. I do not know of any across the water on your side. BUT...I bet there are bee clubs, but again, not sure. Nice to have another beekeeper that lives in my region. There are several bee clubs in the Lower Mainland, do a google search and see what you come up with.

It is wonderful to have new members come here to join us. This will be a place where you can make some new friends, a place to tell your stories, tales and experiences, and a place to learn. We love to listen and we love to help, just ask the question, no matter what, and great answers will come forth. Do stick around. Have that most wonderful and awesome day, with great health. Cindi

There are strange things done in the midnight sun by the men who moil for gold. The Arctic trails have their secret tales that would make your blood run cold. The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see, what the night on the marge of Lake Lebarge, I cremated Sam McGee. Robert Service
